About the Book

Join the claymates for a claydate-a madcap adventure about playing, not perfection-in this rollicking read-aloud by the duo behind Claymates!

When two clay friends decide to sculpt a unicorn-dragon and a potato-knight and try to tell an epic story with them, nothing goes quite how they planned. Unicorn-dragon isn't fearsome at all, and potato-knight keeps getting squished! Can the claymates work together to save their story and remember that a playdate doesn't have to be perfect to be plenty of fun? Anything can happen in this laugh-out-loud adventure that celebrates friendship, storytelling, and endless creativity.

Review :
"Like its predecessor, there is plenty of belly laugh-inducing humor, but Petty provides readers with an important reminder: creativity thrives in imperfection. Eldridge returns with stunning photos of expressive clay figures presented in comic-style paneling, which invites readers to explore beyond the page and experiment in the classroom or library makerspace.... This is a strong sequel and suitable addition to libraries and classrooms alike."--School Library Journal * "Just as marvelous a read-aloud for groups as for lapsit storytimes.... A sublime blend of the snarky and sweet."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for Claymates:
A Junior Library Guild Selection
A 2019 Monarch Award Nominee
A 2018 Wisconsin Library Association Outstanding Book
A 2018-2019 Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Award Nominee
* "Petty's punchy, dialogue-only narrative and newcomer Eldridge's expressive sculpture give these clay buddies a surplus of personality.... A giddy mix of naive and naughty."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "The dynamic interaction between the characters invites readers to take risks, push boundaries, and have a little unscripted fun of their own."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Readers and pre-readers alike will be delighted.... The value of play for the sake of play shines above all else."--Shelf Awareness
